The bay-wide run is now just under 29 million fish, with about 1.1 million fish caught yesterday. Egegik crews brought in nearly half of that, with about 490,000 fish. Lots of folks are on their way to fish the Naknek-Kvichak, with almost 150 additional permits transferring to the district over the next two days.

The bay-wide run is now just under 27 million fish, with big catches over the weekend. On Sunday, crews caught 1.4 million fish, and Saturday, crews across the bay caught a whopping 2.3 million fish–that’s the biggest bay-wide catch of the season so far. Togiak tower crews started work last night, and the Naknek River saw a nice bump in escapement yesterday, bringing them closer to the lower end of their escapement goal range. The Port Moller Test Fishery says the bay is on track to meet its pre-season forecast of 44 million fish.

The bay-wide run is now just under 20 million fish, with steady catches yesterday from all districts bringing in a total just under 1.5 million fish. The Nuhagak river has exceeded the upper end of its escapement goal range, with 2.7 million fish counted upstream so far this season, and the Kvichak river recorded the highest escapement of the day. A big drop off in the catch index at Port Moller, but their crew says not to worry, there are plenty of sockeye between the transect and the districts.

Once again, crews in the Nushagak caught nearly a million sockeye just the other day, bringing the baywide catch to almost 10 million. Escapement in the Naknek River is looking slim, while the Kvichak keeps climbing. And Port Moller has recorded yet another strong Daily Catch Index after a couple days of low counts.

The highest catch numbers yesterday were recorded in the Egegik district, with over 550,000 fish caught, followed by the Nushagak with a catch of 450,000. Port Moller predicts that catches in the Naknek and Kvichak will continue to build through July 5th.

The total baywide run has passed the 10 million mark, with steady catch numbers continuing to come in from all districts. Port Moller catches are still low, but they say there is no indication that the run is smaller than forecasted.

A lot happened in the Nushagak over the weekend, with around 1.8 million fish caught in the district and over one million sockeye counted swimming past the sonar. Plus an additional push of nearly 7,000 king salmon just yesterday. Port Moller catch indices are down, the crew thinks this could be because of rough weather but that it’s too early to tell. The latest stock composition indicates that the Kvichak is the next big stop for salmon, with 25% of the sampled fish on their way there.

Sockeye escapement in the Nushagak River continues to climb, now approaching 600,000 fish with an additional push of about 2,000 king salmon upstream yesterday. Almost half a million fish were caught in Egegik yesterday, bringing the total bay-wide run well past the 2 million mark.

The largest catch numbers continue to come in from Ugashik, but escapement counts in the Nushagak are soaring, per Port Moller’s previous prediction. And, looking at the most recent vessel registration, the fishermen are headed the same place that the fish are.

The total baywide run has surpassed one million fish, with a big haul in the Ugashik district on Tuesday. The Wood River escapement doubled yesterday and, according to Fish and Game, may be on track to double again today.
